When a body moves, it's the most revealing thing. Dance for me a minute, and I'll tell you who you are.

Nobody is born a dancer.

Now there is in a way a renaissance of modern dance - suddenly, it is more respected and discovered.

Dancing is my obsession. My life.

There comes a moment in a young artist's life when he knows he has to bring something to the stage from within himself. He has to put in something in order to be able to take something.

I want to do exactly what I want to do. I'd rather gamble on the box office than beg for a grant.

Dancers are stripped enough onstage. You don't have to know more about them than they've given you already.
